Spaces & Setups

Just walked through Target and noticed a neat little idea they implemented with a brand priduct called Fabrique. $50 wireless speakers designed to integrate strictly with Alexa. They CLEARLY side stepped Sonos, pushed them out and went on with their own more affordable systems. All speakers work in unison or you can break them up into zones like Sonos. I suspected the last few months Sonos couldnt get the deal done based on how long it was taking them but this pretty much confirms it. Sure "theu want it to be universal and adaptive to ALL AI but writing a simple app to integrate Alexa and push theupdate through shouldnt take but a blink of am eye. I was building my system based on Alexa integration but at least I know now before I invest several K's. Too bad, they are great speakers.

I have an Amazon Echo Dot but can't figure out how to play music through my Play 1s using Echo voice commands. I once installed the Yonomi Android app to do this but couldn't get the whole thing working, so I uninstaled it. Are there any step by step guides to configure Echo to work with Sonos? I have half a dozen Play 1's but no Connect box or anything like that. I don't usually have the Play 1s configured to use Sonos Net because the Play 1 unit I usually connect to the wireless router using an Ethernet cable is the one that gets moved around into other rooms when required. I believe the audio quality is not so great via Echo but I'm only looking for background music so it should be okay for my purposes.

Hi all currently I have 1 Playbar, 1 Sub, and 2 Play1. All grouped together in "Living Room". I would like to be able to create two groups: - Living Room TV (all of the above) - Living Room Musik (just Sub and Play 1 or Sub and Playbar) right now this is not possible as a single speaker cannot be in more than one group ......

Does it matter whether you connect speakers to the 2.4 or 5 GHz network? Besides if someone has a iphone 4 or something not capable of connecting to the 5 Ghz network...

Sonos, please stop at once this new advertising from within the sonos app. I did not buy your products so that I could receive marketing from within them. I do not want to open the sonos app and be greeted with specials about anything! By all means send an email but please stop using the app as a marketing platform or I'm dumping your brand.

Hi, I have had my Sonos setup since 2013 and I love it. The sound is fantastic and they have never let me down. I would like to expand on my products and have some requirements that are not yet catered for by Sonos. I would like to ask that you review these ideas for feasibility. 1) Instead of purely tying PLAY1's or Play 3's to my Soundbar and Sub for surround sound in my living room, it would be great to have in-wall speakers that are based on the Sonos principle meaning, they only require power to function and can be added as surrounds. Much like the Monitor Audio products http://www.monitoraudio.co.uk/products/applications/in-wall 2) The same principle as above but for in ceiling speakers. I would love to have in ceiling Sonos speakers on my ground floor and 2nd floor but without the hassle of running cables to Sonos Connected Amps somewhere. If it could be a matter of purely adding power, that would allow me to immediately expand my Sonos collection. Should the above

As a stand-alone iPhone app, TuneIn Radio can play rtmp streams no problem, but the TuneIn service within Sonos cannot do it ("incorrectly encoded" error message). Let's get rtmp capability up and running in Sonos asap!

Hello, Since Apple has announced AppleMusic API that will be open for developers, is the controller is going to use the new API in order to bring the same exact experience of AppleMusic on iOS to the Controller? Currently the controller is really unusable with AppleMusic due the mismatch. Thanks a lot!

Hi people. My daughter is having a birthday party on saturday. But the venue has no wifi and we need some music for games. I wanted to tak my Play 5 (1st Gen) and plug my phone into it using line in. Then play my spotify music that has been downloaded to the phone. I have read the advice to set up autoplay, which I have done. But when I have tried the line in without a wifi signal it wont let me access the app. Can anyone help? Thanks

Best regards. As you know in SONOS connect: amp, when the subwoofer is connected automatically a kind of filter is activated adjusting the sound in the speakers, reducing the bass and increasing the treble. Is that so? This are my questions: If I have a subwoofer connected to the SONOS Connect: amp and group one or more zones (eg a SONOS PLAY 3). The other zones will be affected by the filter or sound adjustment of the SONOS Connect: amp? Ie the other SONOS speakers will lower the bass and increase the treble? The second question is: Is it possible to disable the automatic sound adjustment of the SONOS Connect: amp when connecting the subwoofer? Sorry for my English Thanks for your help. I remain attentive.

I am adding a Sonos Connect between y Emotiva Pre and Power Amp. Will my system still work conventionally with the Preamp volume control when I'm playing preamp inputs (CD, Turntable etc) as always, or will the Connect create havoc?

Hi everyone. Brand new to this forum but interesting in getting into Sonos. What would be the best recommendation for a deck? The Play 1 or 3?

It makes no sense to use only WiFi to control Sonos devices. I turn WiFi off if not really needed to avoid unnecessary harmful radiations and of course listening to music doesn't belong to the list of activities justifying going wireless. Instead of using just broadcast over the local network, why not allowing to NAT the devices and simply configure the controller application (especially mobile apps) also for accessing via the internet?

Hey all! I've been lurking as many topics regarding projector/ console + sonos setups, but I hadn't found any that included a discussion on multiple game consoles and the Playbase. So, here goes. I have the following devices: an Acer H6510BD (with two HDMI inputs + analog 3.5mm audio out), a Playstation 4 (not slim, not Pro) that I use as my primary entertainment center (games and streaming services), and a recently purchased XBOX One that I need to fit into the system. I'm interested in buying the Playbase, as I currently own the Play 5 and one CONNECT Amp in my master bedroom and wanted to expand into my living room, particularly to add surround sound capability. What I'd like help with is knowing upfront what accessories, if any, I need to get the best audio with no latency issues. Mainly I was confused about needing any HDMI/optical audio switches. If I only had the PS4, my assumption was I could run an optical audio cable straight from the console into the

can i setup 5.1 surround Sonos playbar,sub and connect amp with other 2 speakers ?

touch screen stopped working on CR 200 can this be repaired

I've heard the playbar with sub and I think it sounds great. However, I'd like to avoid cluttering up my mantel with a soundbar. I have built-in cabinetry on each side of the fireplace. I'm thinking about using a connect: amp along with some high quality book shelf speakers and sonos sub. It's my understanding that the line out from the tv can go to the connect amp. Anyone do this and can tell me about the sound quality? I realize this is only a 2.1 stereo sound. I have a home theater in my basement for serious surround sound. I'm just looking for good quality stereo sound with good voice/dialog for casual TV viewing. I'm concerned I won't get that without a center channel speaker, but if I have to add a center channel I'll be back to square one and might as well go with a playbar.

Hi all, I currently have a Sonos Playbar, Sonos SUB and a Connect AMP wired with 2 rear speakers. I'm in doubt what would give me the best audio: Sonos Playbar + Sonos Sub (current setup) or connect 2 B&W 685 to act as front speakers and sell the Playbar/Sub. I will lose a bit of bass but adding stereo effect by the 685's. Anyone who has done this switch or experience with both? Thanks in advance!

Just purchased my first Sonos, the Playbase. Happy with sound, but not enough volume for me. What is my best option to increase volume? Which will add most volume; 2 x Play 5's, or SubBase?

First post, be nice! Recently received my Play:1 speaker and wanted to have a play in the house I've just moved to. Only problem is there's no Wifi yet! I used my phone as a hotspot to get the speaker and my laptop connected with the ethernet cable too. But as soon as I turned off the hotspot, it all stopped working. Is there a way to play off the laptop without internet connection? I don't really want to be using my data constantly for streaming music. Obviously if it's no possible, let me know! Thanks!

Flic has announced a Hub that will include control of Sonos and many other wireless devices. Information so far seems to show home kit , smart things lIFX and lots more. http://hub.flic.io/?refcode=lgnsirfudq

Amazon has a virtual playlist which is "Recently Added" that allows you to easily listen to your newest music. It would be nice for us to have the same sort of thing with our local music library so that I could easily grab the latest podcasts, newest songs, latest audiobook, etc into my queue.

Can I use my Sonos system with this set-up ?

I would like to be able to open the app and use the sonos playlists to play music when I am not home. (no sonos speaker available but maybe a bluetooth speaker) Not being able to do this makes spotify playlists almost pointless. I understand that it would be difficult to make sure you had access to all the songs in a playlist and what particular service they were from when away but it would make the appeal of making spotify playlists a little better. Even being able to access to see what songs are on a playlist would be an improvement.
